IKANAWTIKET

IKANAWTIKET in Mi’kmaq loosely translates to pathfinder. Sharing our Aboriginal eco-centric world view about interconnectedness, interdependency, and respect for Mother Earth is our work.

IKANAWTIKET promotes respect for our Mother Earth through:

• education about biodiversity and Aboriginal Peoples;
• sharing information about opportunities and obstacles for Aboriginal Peoples involvement in biodiversity issues;
• connecting and linking like-minded individuals;
• forming partnerships between leaders on issues of conservation, sustainable use, and access & benefit sharing with Aboriginal Peoples; and
• encouraging the involvement of Aboriginal Peoples to make our voice heard.
